Embracing the Latest Trends: A Sneak Peek Into Interior Design Trends In 2023
As we step into 2023, the world of fenestrations (windows and doors) is experiencing a shift towards a bigger and brighter approach. One noticeable trend is the rise of larger window and door openings, welcoming ample natural light and embracing an enticing indoor-outdoor living experience. Alongside this, interior design trends are veering towards more natural or lighter finishes for cabinets and flooring. The days of all-gray walls and fixtures are giving way to the beauty of bright-colored decorative home accents.
As homeowners seek durability and easy maintenance, hard surface flooring like luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and laminate is becoming increasingly popular, replacing traditional carpet choices. And the walls? Bolder paint colors are making a comeback, accompanied by a resurgence of natural wood trims and doors. Neutrals with hints of greens, blues, and beige are taking center stage, and the warmth of neutral colors is outshining the cool gray tones of the past.
The phrase "design/build" may sound novel to some, but it has been part of the new home construction process for some time. This year, customers planning to build new homes can expect a higher level of collaboration and expertise, focusing on innovative ideas for energy efficiency, work-at-home spaces, and functional living areas. The in-home office area trend is here to stay, providing a dedicated workspace to meet the demands of modern living.
Outdoor living is rapidly gaining popularity, and energy efficiency has never been cooler.
With economic pressures impacting new construction housing starts in 2023, more homeowners are turning to renovating their existing homes. Outdoor living spaces are becoming top investment areas, and windows and doors are essential upgrades to enhance a home's energy performance.
As lifestyles evolve, there's a noticeable shift towards one-level living. Slab on grade homes and townhomes are in high demand, particularly among those approaching retirement age and beyond. Eliminating steps and stairs ensures safety and accessibility for homeowners and their guests. The peace of mind that comes with the ability to age in place makes one-level living an appealing choice.
Kitchens remain the heart of the home, now more than ever. The renewed focus on making kitchens both a gathering spot and a workspace is evident. Stainless steel appliances and gray walls are trending, while warmer tones are gradually making their presence known. A mix of natural-tone woods and painted cabinets, complemented by appliances featuring gold or copper trim, adds a touch of sophistication. For those who love the allure of gray, opting for warmer-based grays is the way to go.
As we venture into 2023, these exciting trends in fenestrations and interior design are set to redefine homes, bringing joy, style, and functionality to spaces both indoors and out. Stay ahead of the curve and let Northstar Windows and Doors be your partner in transforming your home into a haven of elegance and comfort.
